A/N: I have included my author's note at the beginning to disclose something really quickly: this is a song, and not a poem like the previous parts I've posted. With that said, this is the first song I've ever written, so be aware that it might not be of the best quality. I apologize profusely for that. It's not like Jack Antonoff tutored me in songwriting; give me a break. Now's where I end this author's note to let you read this for yourself. Enjoy!

[Verse 1]

[Verse 1]

Possession you've this soul,

Well you've covered this hole

Say, if it's you not amissed

By another, say I'll this:

[Chorus]

Will someone uncover thy beauty?

To bring yourself so snooty?

Ignore what passion conceived

To thee that's unreceived?

[Verse 2]

Tis' far, you haven't well fared

Or ere mingled with women's affairs

Who's to deny possible advantage,

So to that a question 's salvaged:

[Chorus]

Will someone discover thy beauty?

To bring yourself so snooty?

Ignore what passion conceived

To thee naught's received?

[Verse 3]

Why, thy attention's a mate to George

Simple to court but not to gorge

Foolish to involve sluggards, of that I'm wary

However, short distance 'tween us, it's scary

Never such closeness neared

Activating thoughts almost weird

With that, a question comes along

Tearing thyself up for time's-long:

[Chorus]

Will someone recover thy beauty?

To bring yourself so snooty?

Ignore what passion conceived

To ye not received?

Well, why...

[Outro]

Abhor what passion conceived?

Self-hate have had you deceived?

Alternatively, is it nay received?

Plentiful to doubt, justn't believed

That men's romance can't be relieved

Away you turn, though is received.
